Country. Visitors will enjoy the swamp scenery, especially the alligators, nutria, and
varieties of birds in the wild. Experience the delight of fresh-water and saltwater fishing,

notable bridges include swinging, lifting, and bascule bridges as well as a pontoon bridge over
the Houma Navigation Canal and a railroad bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway. Other
